Are You What You Eat? Hardcover – April 14, 2015

Contains lots of helpful information about nutrition in an easy to follow format. I found it useful for daily meal planning.

My 6-year-old is very curious about the building blocks of everything, including food. We've had nightly discussions about protein and sugar and balanced diets. I wanted a book that would go into more depth without being overwhelming. Are You What You Eat? fits the bill.I do not expect children to sit down and read this book from front to back. Like other DK books, information is separated into small sections, with multiple "sections" per page. This allows kids to jump around at their own pace and absorb the things they are interested in in the moment.I looked at a number of nutrition books for children before settling on this one. I read a lot of customer reviews and looked at interior pictures. I'm glad I chose this one. The book is well researched and based on science. I highly recommend it for kids 6 and up.

This book is exactly what I was looking for to teach my first-grader about nutrition! My kid is very bright and wants to know the facts and reasoning behind what he's learning. It's difficult to find a history and science-based book that is written simple (and detailed) enough for a young child to understand.Are You What You Eat goes beyond the normal fluff of nutrition education to explain all a kid should know in detail.I highlight recommend this book to any parent wishing to teach with science!!

This book perfect for children who have an insatiable appetite for information. It explains how the digestive system works, how certain food items came into use (i.e. tea originated in China), the origins of different food products and the associated history from a U.S.-based perspective. This book will appeal to kids who like science but might be a bit too involved for elementary-age children who are below grade level in reading. It is nonetheless a great resource for homeschooling or the classroom, and the content will help and inform even their teachers.

Good book on nutrition basics for 6-12 year-olds. The information was prevented via both text and quality visuals. A great buy!

This book is perfect. My 8 year old and I are both enjoying it and learning. I am SO glad I found this book!!! Kids need to learn and know these things. We all do. I wish I had this when I was a kid.My 8 year old says she likes to see the timelines and she likes to see all the colorful photos. ( Me too!)

This book has a wealth of nutrition information for children and adults. Can't wait to use this for homeschool this year!

Too advanced for a 6 year old.
